About Quarterbacking Children's Health Foundation
Quarterbacking Children's Health Foundation centers its giving on medical needs for children and young adults whose needs would otherwise be unmet. Its largest recent grants show that pattern clearly: $1,000,000 went to Children's of Alabama in 2025, following $900,000 in 2024 and $875,000 in 2023. The foundation also backs specialized pediatric care through grants such as $200,000 each to Eyesight Foundation of Alabama in 2024 and 2023. Across the recent record, the same mission appears in support for hospitals, transport, early intervention, speech and language services, counseling, and programs for children with special needs. The foundation describes its work as funding medical care and medical opportunities for children and young adults, with grants awarded to nonprofit children's medical organizations and programs addressing unmet needs. Recipients in the recent list are all Alabama-based, and the foundation's giving is structured around short-term support for direct medical needs rather than individual awards. The pattern suggests a local funder focused on filling gaps in pediatric services across Birmingham and other Alabama communities.
What Quarterbacking Children's Health Foundation Funds
The foundation supports pediatric medical care through grants to hospitals and specialty providers.

It also funded transportation and access: Kid One Transport received $50,000 in 2025 and $45,000 in 2023, both for children whose medical needs otherwise would not be met. Early intervention and developmental support appear repeatedly as well. The Bell Center of Early Intervention received $60,000 in 2023, $50,000 in 2024, and $50,000 in 2025. For children with special needs, Mitchell's Place and United Ability each received $50,000 in 2025.
